Help Celebrate and Preserve Our History
Celebrating and preserving the Mennonite story is central to the mission of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society (MMHS).
We seek to foster an understanding of and respect for the history and beliefs of the Mennonite people in the past and present, and to challenge them to give new expression to this heritage in the future. Your support drives our efforts to share the Mennonite story with the next generation through community events and educational resources, along with monuments and tributes.
Organizing or supporting community events, such as celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Russlaender Mennonites' arrival in Canada or the 150th anniversary of the Kanadier Mennonites' arrival in Manitoba.
Preserving and sharing vital stories from our history through educational materials, including The Historical Atlas of the East Reserve, Prosperity Ever, Depression Never – Steinbach in the 1930s, and Where the Cottonwoods Grow.
Designing monuments and tributes that commemorate the experiences of our ancestors, including those at Fort Dufferin and Schanzenfeld.
